Journal Article
Lau, M. S. H., Sheng, L., Zhang, Y., & Minton, N. P. (2021). Development of a Suite of Tools for Genome Editing in Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius and Their Use to Identify the Potential of a Native Plasmid in the Generation of Stable Engineered Strains. ACS Synthetic Biology, 10(7), 1739-1749. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.1c00138

The relentless rise in the levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases caused by the exploitation of fossil fuel necessitates the development of more environmentally friendly routes to the manufacture of chemicals and fuels. The exploitation of a fermenta...

Experimental measurement of dynamic concentration of nanofluid in laminar flow (2017)
Journal Article
Hong, J., Liu, S., Yan, Y., & Glover, P. (in press). Experimental measurement of dynamic concentration of nanofluid in laminar flow. Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 88, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2017.06.022

Nanofluid is thought to have a potential enhancement in heat transfer behaviour of fluid. The nanoparticle concentration in nanofluid is one of the most important factors that affect the nanofluid behaviour. The static concentration was applied in th...
